In a bold move that’s rattling the status quo of national holidays, Texas has announced its independence from Valentine’s Day, introducing a Texan twist on romance: “Lone Star Love Day.” Governor Buck Wilderson, adorned in a hat embellished with heart-shaped spurs, revealed the decision amidst the iconic backdrop of the Alamo, igniting both curiosity and enthusiasm across the state and beyond.
Texans are embracing their newfound holiday with characteristic fervor, replacing heart-shaped candies with iconic Texan symbols like cowboy boots and mandating that all Valentine’s Day cards prominently feature at least one Texas emblem, whether it’s a boot, a longhorn, or a dollop of barbecue sauce. While critics perceive the move as an attempt to distance the state from national customs, proponents argue it’s an opportunity to celebrate love in a manner that authentically embodies Texan values.
Local businesses are eagerly hopping aboard the Lone Star Love Day bandwagon, offering arrangements of bluebonnets, chocolates shaped like cowboy hats, and greeting cards adorned with messages such as “You’re the brisket to my barbecue.” Even Hallmark is embracing the Texan spirit with a fresh line of Lone Star Love Day cards.
